Not to jump to conclusions or anything, but this looks like another animated feature that uses the 3D effect as a replacement for plot and character. The trailer brings back memories of Dragonheart and Sean Connery's wonderful voice. However, even though Dragonheart was a pretty simple movie in the first place, How to Train Your Dragon looks like a dumbed-down version. We'll see for sure on March 26.

     This remake of the 1981 film by the same name looks likely to be as big and loud as a Transformers film. Hopefully it is a lot of fun as well. Titans marks the 3rd franchise in less than a year which is being handed over to the previously unknown Sam Worthington (after Terminator and Avatar). Backing him up are Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades. Gemma Arterton plays the requisite love interest, a role she will reprise a couple of months later in Prince of Persia.

     It seems like blasphemy to propose a Nightmare on Elm Street movie without Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. The producers of this series reboot bailed themselves out by nabbing Jackie Earle Haley to play the scarred killer. Even for those who didn't care for Watchmen, Haley was the one bright spot as Rorschach. But regardless of who is playing him, can Krueger recapture audience's imaginations in an era of horror focused less on iconic killers and more on disturbing torture and moral uncertainty?

     After the surprise success of Iron Man, the sequel is poised to be a mega-hit. Gone from the cast due to a contract dispute is Terrence Howard, but taking his place is the excellent Don Cheadle. Also joining the ensemble are Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, and Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow. The studio is taking no chances at upsetting the formula that made the first film a blockbuster, bringing back Jon Favreau behind the camera. Iron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7, 2010.

     Don't worry--despite the absence of a Transformers film, this summer will still give you your Megan Fox fix. Here she plays opposite Josh Brolin in a supernatural western comic book adaptation. Brolin is Jonah Hex, a bounty hunter set on stopping some sort of Confederate zombie plot. Not being familiar with the comic book, I have little idea what to expect, but this particular genre-mash is intriguing.

     M. Night Shyamalan has alienated just about all the fans he accrued due to The Sixth Sense after the wretched trio of The Village, Lady in the Water, and The Happening. Maybe working as the hired help on someone else's property will do him good. The Last Airbender is based on the Avatar cartoon series (having ditched the Avatar title for obvious reasons). The teaser gives us a tantalizing glimpse of an epic battle. I just hope there's no twist ending.

     This teen fantasy thing is getting tiresome. The Sorcerer's Apprentice has a few things going for it, but will that be enough to separate it from the plethora of similar titles? The urban setting gives it more of a dark, Hellboy-sort of feel. Jay Baruchel is a great choice for the protagonist of this sort of film, even if he is in his upper 20's. He still does the teen dork thing really well. Nicholas Cage, Monica Bellucci, and Alfred Molina round out the cast nicely. Still, I can't shake that feeling I get from Cirque du Freak and Percy Jackson & The Olympians that we've seen this all before.
